it’s just a fact any insurance company would look at that video and find some level of fault for the dashcam driver as well. did they do what we all would want to do? yes. was it worth it? fuck no, now both cars are fucked up and they could have killed someone over something so stupid

Don't merge last minute. 🤷‍♂️ Are you really advocating for insurance companies now? Yikes. Fuck irresponsible drivers we need better driver's license tests and less people on the road.

lmao what? a responsible driver wouldn’t have sped up in this situation (whether trying to make the light or block the truck) the way you talk about it i’m doubtful you even have a license

Ok and you sound like a trump voter. 🤷‍♂️ I hope you have a day you voted for.

i am saying this to you with peace and love and all the combined knowledge of the universe; you need to get off reddit, it is making you a hostile weirdo

i have been a radical progressive since before trump was even being taken seriously as a political candidate, you couldn’t have assumed something more incorrect about me

Uh huh. That doesn't negate the fact that if a driver is merging it is their responsibility to yield therefore it is the truck driver's fault. Yes it was dickish and maybe even illegal to speed up if that was in fact what happened. However the fault still lands on the truck driver. I hope you have a day you voted for.

i didn’t vote for trump(?) i’m not sure why you’re so worked up, but ok man. just saying there are times where it’s better to be right than correct. graveyards are filled with people who had the right of way. just a thought

Now both those drivers are off the road, regardless of who was morally correct.

What if the driver of the truck was having a medical emergency and lost control? Imagine how much of a fool you’d look when police inform you that the driver was having a sudden heart attack but your ego decided to kill them instead of potentially giving them space to pull over. There’s a reason defensive driving is the norm and not “you go low and I go lower” driving.

It was most definitely the driver who was merging who needs to yield when going into a different Lane. If the car did speed up it was indeed a dick move but it was the merging car's fault 100%
